The Augustan Age (Classic Reprint) by Charles D. Meigs Pdf

Excerpt from The Augustan Age Dear Sir: Some time since, I was requested to deliver a Lecture for the Athenian Institute. I selected the Augustan Age as a suitable topic; but, as, by a sort of tacit understanding, the Lectures ought not to occupy more than an hour each, I found myself unable to effect more than the presentation of a few sketches relative to the history, arts, mariners, and literature of the period. I am well aware that the following pages, which comprise the Lecture in question, are hardly worthy of being presented to a person of your literary taste and knowledge.

The Augustan Ages (Classic Reprint) by Oliver Elton Pdf

Excerpt from The Augustan Ages The disabilities of a short essay like this are confessed in its aim, which is to review more than one literature of Western Europe during a period that opens in the third quarter of the seventeenth century. The later limit varies in different cases. In France it is the death of Louis XIV.; in England the story goes further with Pope and Swift, but is guided rather by schools and fashions than by strict chronology, which may be misleading. As for some other countries, which fought the same battles as France and England, only many years in their wake, I have tried to pack, into what must be regarded as an appendix, the beginnings of the great change, mental and formal, that overtook them also. This latter part has been purposely written on a rather more compressed scale. It was impracticable to go too far into the eighteenth century; and it may be added, with no wish to put off criticism, that the fitting of the countries, groups, and authors into this part of the series has been, as usual, carefully considered, and can be judged fairly when the companion volumes appear.

Propertius by Kirby Flower Smith Pdf

Excerpt from Propertius: A Modern Lover in the Augustan Age The poet was a native of Assisi, and the last scion of a long line of Umbrian mountaineers. He tells us expressly that they had never attained any high official distinction in Rome. It is clear, however, that he was a Roman Knight and that his people were of considerable importance in their own neighborhood.

The Roman Poets of the Augustan Age by W. Y. Sellar Pdf

Excerpt from The Roman Poets of the Augustan Age: Horace and the Elegiac Poets The manuscript of Mr. Sellar's book was entrusted to me at the end of last year, and the duty of seeing it through the press undertaken, in accordance with his wishes. The chapters on Horace, and the four chapters on the Elegiac Poets, ending with the criticism of the poetry of Propertius, are complete. The chapter on the Odes of Horace (from the middle of Section II. p. 148, 'If Horace lived, ' &c., to the end, p. 198) has had less of the author's revision than the others: the manuscript, however, is perfectly clear and continuous. The rest of the Horace and the four chapters of the Elegiac Poets were written out for the printers by Mr. Sellar. The passage on the birthplace of Propertius was sent by the author to the Classical Review, and appeared in November 1890. The chapter on Ovid {Elegiac Poets, chapter V) is not in the same condition as the rest of the book. It represents the notes made by Mr. Sellar for chapters on the same scale as the others. These notes leave some parts of the subject untouched - the biography of Ovid, for example, and his later poems.

The introduction of commerce, and the consequent ao quisition of wealth, had not yet enabled individuals to purchase the estates of their fellow-citizens, and to oh tain a revenue'from the rent of land rather than from its cultivation.

The Days of Queen Anne (Classic Reprint) by Eugene Lawrence Pdf

Excerpt from The Days of Queen Anne To the students of history and of literature alike, the age of Queen Anne is a subject of special interest and importance. It was the Augustan age of English literature and of French as well. It was a period of great conflicts in arms, of fierce controversy in the political world. It was a time of marvelous advancement in science. It was a formative period which influences to a notable degree the daily life of the present time. We see this influence in our architecture and our house furnishings; in our proverbial expressions and our habits of thought; even in our dress and our manners. "Robinson Crusoe" and "Gulliver's Travels" are still the delight of childhood. Newton and Locke are still studied in our colleges. "The Spectator" is still the model of English prose. Pope's couplets are still a part of our practical philosophy. All classes of people throughout the English-speaking world are living in the light of that marvelous era; and wherever the French language is spoken the influence of the Augustan age is felt to-day as it is among ourselves. When Macaulay undertook to write a history of England which should compete in interest with "the last novel," there was the keenest anticipation of his work relating to the age of Queen Anne. Unfortunately, his history stopped abruptly with the death of William the Third - the very day on which Queen Anne became the sovereign of the "three kingdoms." The magnificent work of Macaulay, as left thus, is practically the history of a single reign, with a brief review of the period preceding it. The world has not ceased to mourn the untimely death of the man best qualified to write the history of the age of Queen Anne.

A Discussion of the Latin Prohibitive by H. C. Elmer Pdf

Excerpt from A Discussion of the Latin Prohibitive: Based Upon a Complete Collection of the Instances From the Earliest Times to the End of the Augustan Period This paper owes its origin to a feeling the writer has long had that certain uses of the Latin perfect subjunctive are very inadequately and, in some particulars, very inaccurately treated in Latin grammars. It is customary, for instance, in dealing with ne and the 2d person subjunctive in prohibitions, to dismiss the subject with the statement that when the prohibition is addressed to no definite person, the present tense is used; otherwise the perfect. All attempts - like Gildersleeve's, ' for instance - to make any further distinction between the tenses have been frowned down. Scholars in general have been inclined to accept the views of Madvig (Opusc. acad. altera, p. 105) and of Weissen-born (on Livy 21, 44, 6) as final, viz. that the perfect is used, when a definite person is addressed, only because the present cannot be used. The reason for this remarkable state of things they do not trouble themselves to seek. Even Schmalz, in the second edition of his Lat. Synt., 31, would have it understood that the perfect tense in this use has no special significance. Such ignoring of all distinction between tenses is common also in other constructions, e. g. in the so-called potential subjunctive.

Original Ballads by Living Authors, 1850 (Classic Reprint) by Henry Thompson Pdf

Excerpt from Original Ballads by Living Authors, 1850 Augustan age, and was accordingly stilted into an eclogue in decasyllabic couplets. The age acknowledged no excellence in what was not imitated from classical models, as it designated distorted French casts of them. For the bag-wigs, buckles, and liveries of the Westminster dormitory differed not more from the pallia and tunics of the Ludi Megalenses, than Racine and Corneille from Sophocles and Euripides. Yet did English Poets receive law from Versailles while they imagined they were inspired from Parnassus, and allowed no existence to any other inspiration. Among the few poets of the last age, it would not perhaps be possible to name one beside Thomson, Collins, and Gray, whose inspiration was quafi'ed from the pure founts of antiquity: and the rest are neither numerous nor conspicuous enough to warrant the conclusion that contempt of ballad literature results from the ascendency of a purer and loftier poetry.

Latin Verse (Classic Reprint) by Frank Smalley Pdf

Excerpt from Latin Verse Before the time of Ennius the Romans had a very loose metrical system. (see Introduction and 36 and That poet, by imitating the Greek, adopting its forms and rules, inaugurated the practice of more carefully regarding Quantity and Rhythm in Latin verse. Considerable liberties are taken by the dramatic writers, but the poets of the Augustan age very carefully conform to the essential principles of metrical composition.
